For many Panhandle families, the ideal home is new construction on an acre or more in Bushland ISD, close enough to drive to Amarillo's hospitals and shopping, but far enough out to see the sunset with nothing in the way. Homes.com's Amarillo new-construction page includes two communities that fit that description: Mid-Country Estates by B&M Amarillo Homes ($489,900–$555,000, 4 bedrooms) and Skyline Ranches by Jadon Homes (from $603,455, 4 bedrooms, about 2,487 square feet).

This guide compares the two, lists other Bushland ISD new-construction listings that appeared on Homes.com, and covers the questions about wells, septic systems, and site work that matter more on acreage than on a city lot. For gated luxury acreage northwest of town, see our Tascocita Hills guide.

Mid-Country Estates by B&M Amarillo Homes

B&M describes Mid-Country Estates as "a charming and serene neighborhood located just west of Amarillo, Texas, along the historic Route 66." It has 1- to 1.5-acre residential tracts with natural gas and underground utilities, which is unusual for rural tracts and means no overhead power lines blocking the view. B&M says quick access to I-40 keeps commutes to Amarillo's medical centers, shopping and restaurants short. Some lots have already sold, and B&M lets buyers "choose an available lot and build your own" or buy a finished home (B&M Mid-Country Estates).

B&M also offers some of the most flexible buyer programs in Amarillo, including a trade-in program, a lease with purchase option, a veterans program and a credit restoration program (B&M Amarillo Homes). If you need to sell a city home before you can build in the country, the trade-in program is worth asking about.

Skyline Ranches by Jadon Homes

Jadon Homes describes Skyline Ranches as "nestled in the heart of Bushland, TX," a community "designed for families who value both comfort and connection," with spacious lots and stunning views. Jadon advertises a new model coming soon and invites buyers to tour in-progress homes to see the build quality at every stage (Jadon Homes).

Jadon is veteran-owned and operated by the Lemons family, with more than 25 years of building and 575+ custom homes in Amarillo, Canyon and Bushland. Its FAQ says a typical custom build takes about 6 to 12 months.

Warranty

B&M Amarillo Homes markets itself as a locally owned custom builder that also offers trade-in, leasing, and lease-with-purchase-option programs (B&M Amarillo Homes). It doesn't publish warranty terms online, so ask for the written warranty and confirm the workmanship, systems and structural terms before you sign.

Jadon Homes says it "provides warranties on all our custom builds" but doesn't publish the terms (Jadon Homes FAQ). Ask for the warranty document and confirm the structural coverage length before you start design.

For context, Homes.com's Amarillo new-construction FAQ says most builders provide a 1-year workmanship warranty, a 2-year systems warranty, and a 10-year structural warranty. Treat that as the baseline you compare each builder against.

Step by Step: How to Buy New Construction in Bushland ISD Acreage Communities

  1. Choose acreage-friendly financing. Ask lenders about construction-to-perm, lot loans, and how they treat wells and septic systems.
  2. Register your agent with the builder. Bring your agent to the first meeting with B&M or Jadon.
  3. Walk lots with a checklist. Look at drainage, wind exposure, neighbors' shops and animals, road surface, and the sunset view.
  4. Order a survey and title review. Confirm easements, the flood zone, and access before you buy a lot.
  5. Get well, septic, and insurance quotes. Know your real monthly cost before you compare it with a city lot.
  6. Lock specs, allowances, and timeline in writing. Custom builds typically take 6–12 months, so plan around the delay clauses.
  7. Inspect at each phase. Include a septic and well inspection at the end.
  8. Close and file for homestead. File with PRAD, and submit warranty items on time.
